Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to chairs and spacers that are used in construction activities for the support of post-tension cables, rebars, or mesh. More particularly, the present invention relates to chairs of plastic construction that are used for the support of such materials in poured decks and precast work.
  • Chairs are commonly used in the construction industry for the support of post-tension cables, rebars, and mesh above a surface. Typically, when such materials are used, they must be supported above the surface when the concrete is poured. Chairs are used with poured decks, precast work, and slab-on-grade applications. In normal use, a receiving area formed on the chair will contact and support the rebar while the base of the chair rests on a deck or on a grade. When the concrete is poured, the chair will support the post-tension cable or rebar a proper distance above the bottom surface.
  • plastic chairs of the past have often broken, collapsed, or tipped over in actual use.
  • the base of the chair has only a small area of contact with the deck. Even with the necessary internal structure, experience has shown that such plastic chairs fail to withstand the weight of the rebar.
  • the typical metallic chairs are formed of wires having a circular cross-section.
  • the circular cross-section construction of the wires used for typical metallic chairs have an inherent flaw.
  • the very nature of the circular cross-section of the wires reduces the structural integrity and strength of the chair construction.
  • the present invention is a chair that comprises a receiving area having a horizontal section, a generally parabolic section extending transverse to the horizontal section, and a plurality of separate legs extending downwardly from the receiving area.
  • Each of the legs has a foot extending horizontally outwardly therefrom.
  • a foot of one of the plurality of legs is separated from the foot of an adjacent leg.
  • the receiving area and the plurality of legs are integrally formed together of a polymeric material.
  • One of the plurality of separate legs extends downwardly from one end of the horizontal section while another of the plurality of separate legs extends downwardly from an opposite end of the horizontal section.
  • One of the plurality of separate legs also extends downwardly from one end of the parabolic section while another of the plurality of legs extends downwardly from an opposite end of the generally parabolic section.
  • the receiving area has numerical indicia molded thereon. This numerical indicia is indicative of a distance of a top of the horizontal section from a bottom of the foot.
  • the numerical indicia are formed on the horizontal section of the receiving area.
  • the foot of one of the plurality of separate legs has a top surface with numerical indicia molded thereon.
  • the numerical indicia on the foot is identical in value to the numerical indicia on the receiving area.
  • the numerical indicia on the receiving area is oriented in a different direction then the numerical indicia on the foot.
  • the legs extend downwardly from the horizontal section in a plane transverse to the legs extending downwardly from the generally parabolic section.
  • Each of the plurality of separate legs has a rectangular cross-section.
  • Each of the feet of the plurality of separate legs has a planar horizontal top surface.
  • the receiving area has a cruciform configuration.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of the chair in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a front view of the chair of the present invention.
  • FIGURE 3 is a bottom view of the chair of the present invention.
  • FIGURE 4 is a plan view of the chair of the present invention.
  • FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of the chair of the present invention.
  • the chair 10 includes a receiving area 12, and a plurality of legs 14, 16, and 18. It can be seen that the legs 14, 16, and 18 extend downwardly from the receiving area 12.
  • Leg 14 has a foot 20 extending outwardly horizontally therefrom.
  • Leg 16 also has a foot 22 extending horizontally outwardly therefrom.
  • Leg 18 has a foot 24 extending horizontally outwardly therefrom.
  • the receiving area 12, the legs 14, 16 and 18, and the feet 20, 22 and 24 are integrally formed together of a polymeric material.
  • the legs are separate from each other below the receiving area 12.
  • Each of the legs 14, 16 and 18 has a rectangular cross-section in a horizontal plane.
  • the receiving area 12 has a top surface defining a generally parabolic indentation 26.
  • Indentation 26 is suitable for the receipt of a post-tension cable or a rebar therein. If it is necessary to string additional rebars in a side-by-side relationship to the rebar in the bottom portion of the indentation 26, then the upper portions of the indentation 26 can accommodate such rebars thereon.
  • first leg 14 extends downwardly from the upper end 28 of the receiving area 12.
  • leg 18 also extends downwardly from the opposite upper end 30 of receiving area 12.
  • Leg 16 extends downwardly from the lower central portion of the receiving area 12.
  • the legs 14 and 18 extend outwardly slightly angled (approximately ten degrees) from the vertical.
  • the angling of legs 14 and 18 provides proper structural support for the receiving area 12.
  • the indentation 26 of the receiving area 12 is identified as a generally "parabolic" indentation, it is possible that, within the scope of the present invention, the sides of the indentation 26 can be straight so as to taper downwardly to the center bottom of the receiving area 12. In such an arrangement, the taper would generally extend at approximately twenty degrees to the horizontal.
  • the foot 20 has a generally planar bottom surface 32 and a horizontal planar top surface 33.
  • the foot 24 also has a planar bottom surface 34 and a horizontal planar top surface 35.
  • the planar bottom surfaces 32 and 34 have a horizontal orientation.
  • a projection 36 extends downwardly from the bottom surface 32 of the foot 20.
  • a projection 38 extends downwardly from the bottom surface 34 of the foot 20.
  • a projection 40 extends downwardly from the bottom surface of the foot 22.
  • a second projection 42 also extends downwardly from the bottom surface 32 of the foot 20.
  • the first projection 36 is positioned adjacent an inner edge 44 of the foot 20 while the second projection 42 is positioned adjacent an outer edge 46 of the foot 20.
  • the second foot 24 has a second projection 48 adjacent the outer edge 50 of the foot 24.
  • the first projection 38 is positioned the inner edge 52 of the foot 24.
  • An additional middle projection 37 is formed on planar bottom surface 32 between projections 36 and 42.
  • a projection 39 is formed on the planar bottom surface 34 between projections 38 and 48.
  • Each of the projections 36, 37, 38, 39, 42 and 48 have an inverted pyramidal configuration. These projections are integrally formed with the feet 20 and 24. The projections have a point at the bottom of sufficient sharpness so as to bite into a surface supporting the chair 10 when the chair 10 is under a load.
  • the configuration of the projections 36, 37, 38, 39, 42 and 48 enhances the structural stability and strength of the chair 10 of the present invention. Whenever a load is applied to the receiving area 12 of the chair 10, then this load will cause the projections to bite, to engage or to become embedded in the deck under which the chair 10 is placed. As such, the projections will facilitate the ability of the legs 14 and 18 to resist deformation under the presence of a load. As a result, it is possible to create the chair 10 without having an internal structural ring or other structural members.
  • the horizontally outwardly extending feet 20 and 24, in combination with the projections 36, 37, 38, 39, 42 and 48, enhance the stability of the chair 10 on the flat surface upon which it is placed. The projections help to support the vertical loads without horizontal deflections in the chair 10.
  • FIGURE 2 shows an end view of the chair 10 of the present invention. It can be seen that the second pair of legs 16 and 60 extend downwardly from the ends of the horizontal section 64 of the receiving area 12.
  • the legs 16 and 60 extend outwardly in a single plane transverse to the legs 14 and 18.
  • Legs 16 and 60 are angled outwardly (in approximately twelve degrees to the vertical) .
  • Foot 22 extends horizontally outwardly from the leg 16.
  • Foot 62 extending horizontally outwardly from the leg 60.
  • the horizontal section 64 of the legs 16 and 60 will be aligned with the cable extending within the receiving area 12. As such, this horizontal section 64 distributes the forces imparted by the rebar onto the chair 10 over a larger surface area.
  • Each of the legs 16 and 60 has a generally rectangular cross-section in the horizontal plane.
  • the feet 22 and 62 have flat planar bottom surfaces 66 and 68, respectively.
  • the feet 22 and 62 also have horizontal planar top surfaces 67 and 69, respectively.
  • Projections 40, 41 and 70 extend downwardly from the flat bottom surface 66 of foot 22.
  • Projections 72, 73 and 74 extend downwardly from the flat planar surface 68 of the foot 62.
  • the projections 40, 41, 70, 71, 72, and 74 have a configuration similar to that identified in FIGURE 1. These projections also bite into the supporting surface so as to resist deflecting forces and serve to provide structural strength and integrity in the manner previously described in connection with FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 3 shows a bottom view of the chair 10. Particularly, in FIGURE 3, it can be seen that the legs 14 and 18 are coplanar.
  • legs 16 and 60 are coplanar in a plane transverse to that of legs 14 and 18.
  • the legs, the feet and the projections are integrally formed together of a polymeric material .
  • the maximum amount of structural integrity and strength is obtained through the use of a glass-filled nylon material. It can be seen that the feet 20, 22, 24, and 62 extend horizontally outwardly from the legs . The use of such feet gives stability and spreads the forces imparted by the cable upon the receiving area over a larger area of the deck onto which such feet are placed.
  • the feet 20, 22, 24, and 62 are configured so as to have a relatively narrow and short configuration. Also, each of the feet 20, 22, 24 and 62 have horizontal planar top surfaces 33, 35, 67 and 69, respectively.
  • the width of the feet generally matches the thickness of the legs. As a result of the size and the top surface, it becomes possible to staple the feet to the deck upon which such feet are placed. The stapling of the feet to the deck assures that a deformation of the plastic chair 10 will not occur. Additionally, such stapling assures that the chair will not tip over, become dislodged, or moved from its desired location.
  • the prior art configurations of plastic chairs have failed to provide for the stability of the feet of the chair.
  • FIGURE 4 there is shown a top view of the chair 10 of the present invention.
  • the configuration of the present invention shows the inclusion of numerical indicia on the horizontal section 64 of the receiving area 12 and also on the top surface 33 of the foot 20.
  • the generally parabolic section 26 of the receiving area 12 extends in transverse relationship to the horizontal section 64 of the receiving area 12.
  • the arrangement of the horizontal section 64 with respect to the parabolic section 26 has a cruciform configuration.
  • the numeric reference “2.75" is molded onto the horizontal section 64 of the receiving area 12.
  • This numerical indicia "2.75" is indicative of the receiving height of the chair 10.
  • the numerical indicia "2.75" is the distance between the bottom surface of the feet and the top surface of the horizontal section 64 of the chair 10.
  • another indicia identified with the letters "GTI” is molded onto the top surface of the horizontal section 64.
  • the alphanumeric reference “GTI" is indicative of the source of origin of the chair 10.
  • the use of the numeric indicia "2.75" on the horizontal section 64 of the receiving area 12 allows the workmen at the construction site to have visual evidence that all of the chairs which are used on the slab are of identical heights.
  • the use of such a numerical indicia assures that workmen will not accidentally place a three inch chair among the 2.75 inch chairs. Additionally, the indication of the source of origin of the chair 10 assures that the workmen will not accidentally mix the chairs from one manufacturer with the chairs from another manufacturer.
  • the present invention avoids inconsistencies in the arrangement of chairs. If there is a difficulty or a problem with any of the chairs provided at the construction site, then the manufacturer of the chair can be easily identified from the use of the indicia "GTI" on the horizontal section 64 of the receiving area 12.
  • FIGURE 5 shows a perspective view of the chair 10.
  • the chair 10 has legs 14 and 18 extending downwardly from the ends of the generally parabolic section 26 of the receiving area 12. Legs 16 and 60 extend downwardly from opposite ends of the horizontal section 64 of the receiving area 12.
  • the numerical indicia 70 appears clearly on the top surface of the horizontal section 64.
  • the alphanumeric indicia 72 also appears clearly on the top surface of the horizontal section 64. The use of such indicia assures that accidental mixups of various sizes of construction chairs 10 will not occur. Additional orientation information is provided by the use of the numerical indicia 74 on the top surface 33 of the foot 20. After repeated use of the chair 10, the workmen will find that it is relatively easy to orient each of the chairs 10 in the proper direction along a length of rebar.
  • each of the legs 14, 16, 18 and 60 have a generally rectangular cross-section.
  • the use of such a rectangular cross-section enhances the ability to manufacturer the chair 10 of the present invention through an injection molding process.
  • the rectangular cross-section of each of the legs of the chair 10 also enhances the structural integrity and strength of the legs.
  • the relatively wide surfaces of the legs 14, 16, 18 and 60 strongly resist deformations in the planes upon which force is imparted.
  • legs 14 and 18 are relatively wide in the plane transverse to the horizontal section 64 and relatively narrow in the plane parallel to the horizontal section 64.
  • the legs 16 and 60 are relatively wide in the planes parallel to the horizontal section 64 but narrow in the planes transverse to the horizontal section 64.
  • the chair 10 of the present invention enhances quality control in the installation of the rebar into the receiving area 12. Even after the rebar is installed in the receiving area, the size of the chair 10 can be determined by an inspection of the indicia 74 on the top surface 33 of the foot 20. A proper visual inspection of the chair sizes can be carried out, in this manner, even though the rebar would cover the numerical indicia 70 on the horizontal section 64. As a result, the present invention allows for the workmen to inspect the size of the chair 10 before and after the installation of the rebar onto the chair 10.
  • each of the plastic chairs 10 is relatively inexpensive and corrosion-proof in comparison with conventional metal chairs.
  • the use of plastic chairs eliminates the problems of corrosion or discoloring that can occur through the use of metal chairs .
  • the absence of the interior support structure means that smaller chairs can be positioned on the interior of a larger chair so that the rebars can be aligned in parallel planar relationship or positioned in intersecting relationship .
